% Convert [latitude;longitude;altitude] to an earth fixed position vector. Altitude is the distance above the subsatellite point. Assumes an ellipsoidal planet. Type LatLonAltToEF for a demo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: r = LatLonAltToEF( x, f, a ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ x (3,:) [lat (rad); lon (rad); altitude (km)] f (1,1) Flattening factor a (1,1) Equatorial radius tol (1,1) Tolerance ------- Outputs ------- r (3,:) Vectors -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reference: Escobal, P. Methods of Orbit Determination. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
